ment week will take place at the LindelI Ho-
TEL at which q suite of rooms for headquarters
has already been engaged. The Missouri Com

in hourishing condition and quite strong in
numbers. 1t counts over 80 companions on
its rolls, among them being some of the most
distinguished officers of the civil war. Col

service on April 81, 1861, Us Captain in the 21st

stories of a VIRGINIA. Home.

The Clay Hill protrait of Mr.. John
Randolph, said to be the finest like
ness of him, is now in the Corcoran
gallery at Washington.
Long after Mrs. Tabs death Mr..
Randolph still came TO Clay Hill. He
was there one day at dinner party
given to young army officer. At
table the military guest was giving a
glowing account of the Mexican
churches, some of the finest of which,
he said, had been turned into barracks
by the United States troops.
"Why, captain, were you not afraid
to do itp" asked one of the ladies.
20, no; for my part" the captain
replied, 81 have become so used to
such things that l could take my
dinner on an altar as comfortably as
elsewhere"
"And so would hog, sir" said Mr..
Randolph.
In the silence that followed this ter
rible thrust. they say the very air of
the room seemed to Jingle as the
nerves of the guest did.
At that time, and even much later
day, there was in the neighborhood
no regular clergyman of the Episcopal
church. Sometimes only once in three
or four years would parson appear,
and then it was that the wedding took
place and that all the children born in
the interval were brought to be bap-
tiZed. This last, as matter of cour-
tesy to the pastor, was of strict obli-
cation. DIR. Archer's youngest son
was quite old enough to have some
notion of the import of the rite when
his turn for it came, and objected to
the ordinance. He tried to run away.
When his father caught him the little
fellow yelled:
81 'dwant to be baptize"
"Why not, my sonP' inquired the
old doctor.

bed the little boy, piteously.
''You shall curse just as much as
you please, my son" said the old man,
tenderly. "Come along. let 'em bap-
tie you, my child"
The privilege of "cussing" secured
to him by this strange dispensation,
the little fellow made no further resist
ance, but submitted to the rite.
DIR. Archer was lifelong partisan
of his illustrious brother-in-law, Gov.
Giles, one of the ablest politicians of
the day. Some time after the gov
ernor's death the doctor, in heat of
a political discussion, said to his OPP
ponent:
$50 and ask Giles. If you doubt
what say, sir, go and ask Giles"
'But / can't remarked the other.

At the convention of the Knights of
Labor in Minneapolis last week an at
tempt was made to pass resolution of
sympathy with the condemned Chicago
Anarchists. The resolution was not
passed. The Knights have thus shown
how they stand in the conflict between
law and lawlessness. To have publicly
committed the order to anything like
fraternity with a set of murderous ag-
itators who are held responsible for one
of the most horrible crimes of the age,
most of whom never did an honest days
work. would have justly discredited
them in the public estimation. If the
knights of Labor can keep anarchism,
socialism. Henry Georgeism or any
other ism from capturing the order it
may become useful institution.

Didn't Remember.

During the late rebellion Sergeant
Blank, an Irishman by birth, was pro-
NOTED for bravery to the position of Sec
ond lieutenant in one of the regular reg
iments. A brave man and an excellent
soldier, the close of the war found him
holding the rank of captain, and brevetted
major for gallantry in the field. He
could not, however, get rid of his
brogue. nor repair the deficiencies of his
early education; but he was argumenta-
tive, and always ready to express an
opinion. One day in the "mess" the
conversation turned on suicide. "Well,
gintlemin," said the major, Il doan't be-
lave that amy man ever committed sui

further, and say that doan't think amy
man ever led a forloarn hoap unless he
